Persons with HIV or AIDS - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - George, IA.

For persons with HIV/AIDS who also battle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their drug addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only imperative for their safety, but for the good of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others if their drug or alcohol issue continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both issues at the same time may have let their health deteriorate due to the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore urgently need serious medical help once they do get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from rehab for their drug addiction, in a rehabilitation facility that provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical evaluation to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
